The List: DC lawmakers rejected by voters this year

Another primary election day, a few more incumbent casualties. Three more members of the House of Representatives were rejected by home-state voters yesterday — one in a primary for re-election and two who were trying to seek higher office.

Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was the first DC lawmaker to taste defeat when she tried to unseat Gov. Rick Perry in the March 2 GOP primary. But the anti-Washington movement has picked up momentum in recent weeks. Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal (a longtime House member) are in jeopardy in coming contests. And New York Rep. Charlie Rangel has cause to be a bit nervous with a September primary challenge looming.

Here is our list of sitting senators and representatives who have been defeated in primaries this year. The list includes seven Republicans and four Democrats, including one party-switching Democrat (Arlen Specter) and one party-switching Republican (Parker Griffith).

Let us know if we’ve forgotten anyone and we’ll add ’em to the New York on the Potomac Rejection Roll Call.
